Sarah Bradshaw discusses different theories of economic growth, beginning with Modernization Theory, and their social implications in fatalism, work ethic, dress, and behavior. Over time, economic development has changed to become more neo-liberal and focused on structural adjustment, focused on poverty, but also education and health. She argues that we need participatory growth that empowers the poor in development. This chapter is part of Module 1: Why Does the World Need Human Rights?
